Burial Kicks

The best mix in the long-running DJ-Kicks series, Kid Loco’s installment, faces a serious challenge in the near future, Burial’s installment. Burial is the moment in the production of new music. Where he is is where all most go before becoming something that is no longer in the past. A mix by him will, one, reveal what it is that leads up to him and, two, currently nourishes his thinking processes. Burial is the sound of “chains clanging loudly,” the deep “sound of the underground train.”

this announcement has a lot of buzz, especially considering there is no insight into the tracklisting at all. it's funny because no one has any true idea of what this dude is 'into' and his sound seems totally insular and based on little outside influence.

i would be stoked (and not surprised) if it were a collection of speed garage anthems. shut up and dance '£20 to get in' - your hipster resurgence is an inclusion away.

also, the best dj-kicks is by andrea parker. no other mix in the series comes close.
